I don't believe it; Johnny Pew wants to go out with me. The very idea sounds repulsive knowing he doesn't care about anyone besides himself. I don't want to go out with a movie star who doesn't even notice a love struck fan even if they tackle him hard. At least he notices what he had at that stupid movie theater. I just don't want anyone to know about my hobby which is writing songs and singing them, because if Johnny found out he would never leave me alone. I was walking down the street when I heard a band playing at a nearby restaurant. I decided to listen to the band in hopes of being able to get new ideas for my hobby when I saw the most handsome boy on stage. He was around 15 years of age and his band was called Galactic Freedom Fighters. This may surprise you but he is a cat and I am a skunk; I am fully aware of the fact unlike most skunks that fall for the old white paint down the back routine, but what had my heart skipping a beat was his voice.
This is one of the things that get me wanting to run up to him and get his real name. So I decided to stay since the band was warming up, and I'm sure glad I did. Otherwise I wouldn't have learned that the band works for Harvey Calloway, or that they are performing for charity. I really wanted to find out who this guy is and hopefully if he is still single. That's when I heard the leader of the band say:
"Ok guys, let's roll!"
"1…2…1…2…3…4!" a female coyote counted off
Justice callin'
Tyranny fallin'
We're not gonna take it anymore
A hero comin'
Better start runnin'
We're gonna even up the score
You've cheated the people, told them lies
Now you have to pay the price
You should have known
Good always wins
You've spread despair, pain and hurt
Knew just how the system works
We're takin' it back
Time to give it up, my friends
Justice callin'
Tyranny fallin'
We're not gonna take it anymore
Oh, a hero comin'
Better start runnin'
We're gonna even up the score
Justice callin'
I was walking on air to finally see a band that shared my views on the system. However I was breathless when I heard their next song.
Don't let your guard down
Keep your shield up
You've gotta be ready
Don't let your guard down
When the going gets tough
Keep your heart steady
You never know when danger will strike
Might be tomorrow, might be tonight
Learn to trust your instincts and nothing else
The world can be cold, the world can be tough
Sometimes love is not enough
Sometimes you gotta stand up for yourself
Don't let your guard down
Keep your shield up
You've gotta be ready
Don't let your guard down
And when the going gets tough
Keep your heart steady
Don't let your guard down
Keep your shield up
Keep your shield up
Don't let your guard down
Keep your shield up
Keep your shield up
Don't let your guard down
You've gotta be ready
I just wanted to scream my joy so bad. The mysterious, dreamy, guy that caught my eye was the lead singer in both songs which caused me to want more. The next song almost made me want to beg for more.
We need to be free
Like the wind across the desert sand
We need to be free
Like a nomad roaming mystic lands
Oh freedom is a golden bird that lets us fly
And if someone tries to take that away we will stand and fight
We need to be free
Like the wind across the desert sand
We need to be free
It was a short song but it packed a tremendous punch. I really wanted to just shout in pure joy to have found people like me.
"Ladies and gentlemen, kids, teens, and everyone in between. Give it for the writers of the previous songs, Furrball Cat and Amy Rose!" a teenage girl said as my dreamy mysterious cat took a bow along with a teenage hedgewolf
I now knew my dream guy's stage name, but I wanted to know more about him. The things I wanted to know was his age, family, and personal basic information. Then the same girl says:
"This next song was written by Furrball in loving memory of his parents, and grandfather."
Sunny days and starry nights
And lazy afternoons
You're countin' castles in the clouds
And hummin' little tunes
But somehow, right before your eyes
The summer fades away
Everything is different
And everything has changed
If you feel lost and on your own
And far from home
You're never alone, you know
Just think of your friends
The ones who care
They all will be waitin' there
With love to share
And your heart will lead you home
Funny how a photograph
Can take you back in time
To places and embraces
That you thought you'd left behind
They're tryin' to remind you
That you're not the only one
That no one is an island
When all is said and done
If you feel lost and on your own
And far from home
You're never alone, you know
Just think of your friends
The ones who care
They all will be waitin' there with love to share
And your heart will lead you home
There'll come a day
When you're losin' your way
And you won't know where you belong
They say that home is where the heart is
So follow your heart
And know that you can't go wrong
If you feel lost and on your own
And far from home
You're never alone, you know
Just think of your friends
The ones who care
They all will be waiting there
With love to share
And your heart will lead you
If you feel lost and on your own
And far from home
You're never alone, you know
Just think of your friends
The ones who care
They all will be waiting there
With love to share
And your heart will lead you
Where you belong
I know your heart will lead you home
I just have to know him on a deeper level now and I saw my chance when I heard the girl I presumed to be the leader say:
"Thanks everyone, you've been a great crowd. We will be attending the school in this town. We won't say which one but you know when you see us on campus."
'I hope I see him at my school' I thought to myself before heading home for the night.
Normal POV
The next day was the same for Fifi, until she arrived to school. Her first class was Poetry 101, her specialty. Due to her private hobby, poetry came natural for her. The teacher, Miss Pussycat, had often told Fifi to take the advance course. Fifi however felt that she didn't want her hobby to be revealed so decided against it. The students adored her poems and felt like she should make career out of it; she however turned down the offers. Today was different because Furrball and his band were attending school and Furrball first class was Poetry 101. She was writing another poem on how important freedom was, when he walked in.
"Class we have a new student, he is from Sherwood Valley of Camelot." Miss Pussycat announced
"Hello, my name Ryan Carbenesto Montague. I like music, poetry, plays, sports, comedies, action movies and video games." Ryan replied looking at the class
When Fifi locked eyes with him, he felt his heart skip a beat. He never saw a girl so into her poetry, since everyone was whispering about him when he walked in. He wanted to know who she was and if she was single. His hopes of finding a name were answered when Miss Pussycat said:
"Ok Ryan, you be seating next to my star student, Fifi Le Fume. Fifi please present your poem to the class."
"Yes Miss Pussycat." She replied before starting her poem
"Life is not easy to describe
Let alone understand what it truly means to live free
But when I see you, I feel the vibe
That's helps me to understand the beat
It's surprising to think we don't live as free as we think we do
But look around you there're rules and limits everywhere
They say you have freedom to do what you will but it isn't true
The rules say to go here and go there
Can this be freedom?
Is it fair?
Will it lead us to victory or to our doom?
Do they really care?
Life is a game we play
And in this game the rules are endless and are the clay"
Once she finished, the whole class roared with applause. Furrball is completely speechless, 'A girl who believe that there is more to living like I do? I hope she can show me around school. Fifi Le Fume a queen of poetry and my heart' he thought to himself as he applauded.
"I bet your poems are better than my own, guys. I am not the star student either Miss Pussycat, if anything I get lucky in the art." She added before taking her seat
"Now Fifi, we all know you put your heart and soul into the poems you write." One of the students replied
Furrball's POV
I can't believe it, the girl of my dreams is right here in Acme Acres. She is drop dead beautiful, smart, classy, and modest. Fifi Le Fume is my dream come true and I doubt that she is single being the beautiful gem that she is.
"But Miss Pussycat, I am no good at poetry. I was rejected at Poetry Stars League, what makes you think that I'm any good at this?" she replied causing me to say
"That's their loss, because I have traveled the world and no one can write poetry like you. I turned down the offer to join when I found out that they were arrogant jerks. You are very talented girl; I wouldn't be surprised if they begged you to go back to them."
"You really think so?" she asks me causing to go right to her and say
"I don't think, I know. Just trust me."
That's when I saw her eyes up close, violet is my new favorite color now. She blushed and gave a bashful smile. I couldn't believe it; the answer to my life is in her eyes. Is this love I feel, or is it puppy love? My heart beats faster than ever like I am on an adrenaline rush that is when I realize that I'm still holding her hand.
"Sorry about that. I know that you have a talent in poetry, and you can make a career out of it." I said letting go of her hands and rubbing the back of my neck.
"That is ok. I have had a lot of practice in poetry." She replies blushing even deeper and looking away from me
"Fifi, why don't you give Ryan a tour of our school?" Miss Pussycat suggested making me blush
Did I mention that Fifi French accent is driving me even crazier for her? If I wasn't famous, I would do anything to impress her. That is when my old rival walked in, and said:
"Fifi is not going to give this loser a tour. Not when she has me to focus on."
"Johnny it's my decision and I am going to give him the tour." Fifi replies causing to grin like I won a three week no paparazzi vacation and no fan girls begging for a date
"Not without my say so, babe." He replies causing me to say
"I think the lady just said it's her decision, so why don't you back off. Besides I am not like other guys who think that they have any girl they desire."
"Can it, Montague! You don't have what it takes to be in show business, Ryan. I will always be better than you, street rat!" Johnny shouts causing everyone to go quiet and wonder what I would do or say
"I may not be a great actor like you, but I have the decency to let a girl I'm interested in decide what she wants to do. So what if I grew up in the streets without my parents by my side, I learned how valuable freedom truly is. So if you have a problem with that, deal with it!" I replied causing everyone to cheer
Me: That's a wrap
Fifi: Read and Review
Ryan: Thundra501 does not own the songs or the characters. They belong to their respectful owners
What will Johnny do? Is Ryan in love with Fifi, or is it a phase? Stayed tuned
